Monthly Water Level Prediction Based on ESMD-VMD-ESN Hybrid Model by LI Ang, ZHANG Kun, SANG Yuting, BI Wan

“…Water level sequence contain complex features of multiple frequency information.To improve the prediction accuracy of the water level sequences,a combined model was developed based on Extreme-point Symmetric Mode Decomposition (ESMD),Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Echo State Network (ESN),namely ESMD-VMD-ESN.And it was applied to forecast water level of the Taipuzha station in the upper reaches of Taipu River.The predictive effect of the “first decomposition-second decomposition-prediction-reconstruction” model was explored by comparing it with a single model ESN and the combination model ESMD-ESN.The results show that ESMD-VMD-ESN has the highest accuracy,followed by ESMD-ESN,and the lowest ESN accuracy.Compared with the ESN,the Willmott's Index of Agreement (WIA) and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) of ESMD-ESN respectively increased by 51% and 11%,the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squard Error (RMSE) of ESMD-ESN respectively decreased by 14% and 45%.ESMD can effectively simplify the water level sequence and reduce the prediction error.Compared with the ESMD-ESN,the WIA and PCC of ESMD-VMD-ESN respectively increased by 5% and 10%,the MAE and RMSE of ESMD-ESN respectively decreased by 52% and 50%.VMD can further simplify the highest frequency component of ESMD and improving the model prediction accuracy.In conclusion,the combined model ESMD-VMD-ESN has well applicability and stability in the monthly water level prediction.…”

Structural Predestination of Individual Diversity in the Course and Severity of Infectious Diseases by Sergey N. Rumyantsev

“…Infectious diseases can be manifested by a spectrum of clinical signs and resultant clinical courses that range from acute to chronic and possible persistence in the victim in a latent form. Until recently, the origins of this kind of biodiversity were poorly understood, but advances in immunology — especially in identifying the constitutional mechanisms of immunity — have contributed to our understanding of the origins of biodiversity in infectious diseases. …”

The influence of ambient conditions on a person's socio-political maturation: Example of the blessed Muhammad: A citizen of the world par excellence by Dizdarević Bajram, Efendić Davud

“…The mentioned orientation has nothing to do with the dominantly established Muslim perception of shepherding, which is completely depersonalized (the equivalent of shepherding in the political context would be "Mahdianism"), since the future aspect is indispensable in Muhammad's, blessed be he, action, which led later to the formation of strong institutional model within the Muslim Ummah.…”

Mechanical Effects of Solid Water on the Particle Skeleton of Soil: Mechanism Analysis by Xiaomeng Duan

“…Considering solid water as a two-dimensional liquid with appreciable normal strength and lubricity, if soil particles are always wrapped by solid-water layer, the only mechanical effect due to water pressure is to compress particles; while if the interparticle solid water could be extruded undergoing enough force with suitable confinement, the mechanical effects due to increasing water pressure are not only to compress particles more but also to enhance interparticle friction because the indirect interparticle contact could be changed into direct contact to consequently alter the interparticle friction. …”
